Boston Tech is awesome.
On Thursday, I hosted 100 founders and investors at the Boston Tech Social in partnership with @ventionteams & @SiliconVlyBank.
We hosted it at the @citizenM hotels in Boston.
Awesome to see such a close-knit, supportive, and thriving community here.

SVB gave us our first warehouse line that allowed Brex to be where we are today. We're happy to be supportive with $200m of our own corporate cash. We feel safe because it's fully FDIC insured!

Actions speak louder than words. Throughout the weekend, Vouch remained fully operational and helped founders overcome challenges. SVB has backed our industry for 40 years; now it's our turn as leaders to stand with them. Building the future, together stronger.
Wow: @brexHQ moving $200M of their corporate funds from large banks into SVB, a direct competitor to parts of their business.
Solid move to strengthen the ecosystem

New SVB bridge bank CEO doing a zoom session to reassure customers.
Good job so far- hope we can keep as much of it intact as possible.
He wants to assure people that SVB is not in wind down mode- it’s open for business.
Just want to say thanks. Thanks to the leaders who got it done and protected our startup community today. Thanks to the founders, VCs and partners who (and I heard from hundreds of them) reached out to me and our team with grace and kindness to support us, even in the anxious state they were in.
There's obviously a lot that's yet to be determined, including for many of my teammates at SVB, and they are amazing people figuring out what's next too. But the last few days only reinvigorate my belief that founders are some of the toughest, most resilient and kind folks out there...on good days, and today days. I'm in awe of you and hope we get the chance to continue to collaborate with you, one way or another. With gratitude.💙
